People's Bible Notes for Luke 19:8


Lu 19:8 Zacchaeus stood, and said. The record is silent as what had wrought so great a change. No doubt the Lord had preached to him. Half of my goods, I give to the poor. What greater proof of a change of heart! His heart had been on riches; now at once he consecrates one-half to the relief of suffering. If I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation. He no doubt had, if half that is stated of the publicans was true. I restore [him] fourfold. Not only what he has taken, but four times as much. No repentance that does not lead to restitution is genuine. "If what thou hast taken wrongfully cannot be restored to those who were wronged, give it to God; the poor are God's receivers".
